SEEN IN GREEN St Pat’s photos Wednesday, March 19, 2014 P6 NOR TH CANTER BUR Y’S BEST READ COMMUNIT Y NEWSPAPER can touch anyone. However, unlike some who struggle to overcome the put-downs, intimidation and nastiness, Nakita has used her music to make a stand. After two years crafting the lyrics, One girl speaks out... B By CATE BROUGHTON RIMMING WITH confidence and talent, 15-year-old Woodend teen Nakita Turner is proof that bullying music and video, she released her powerful anti-bullying hit, One Voice this week. After six days online, it has received 40,000 views. A stellar cast of mentors, including Christchurch band The Dukes, awardwinning film editor Katie Hinsen (based in New York) and members of Peter Jackson’s Park Road Post Production company, came on board after being approached by Nakita. A collection of young singers auditioned for the youth choir, and artists Massad and Restoration agreed to add their voices. The result is a well-crafted, uplifting rock-pop anthem, with Nakita’s stirring vocals at the helm. The young musician’s One Voice journey started after being on the receiving end of some particularly hurtful jibes. ONEVOICE: Woodend teen Nakita Turner in the music video for her anti-bullying song. ‘‘It stopped me from doing things that I loved, and it’s also stopping others from reaching their full potential.’’ Nakita said it was the support of friends and family that helped her get through it. ‘‘Letting people know about it is import- ant, because if you bottle it up inside, it gets worse.’’ Needing more inspiration for the song, she interviewed several classes of students, at six Canterbury schools, on bullying. The experience was eye-opening. ‘‘You could see they were all hurting – there wasn’t one person there who hadn’t been bullied.’’ The resulting song encourages victims of bullying to ‘‘stand up’’ and for bullies to quit their destructive behaviour. In addition to the music video, the One Voice website contains information about bullying and organisations that can help those affected by it. Nakita said she hopes others will also share their own experiences on the Add Your Voice page. She is relieved, and proud of her achievement, and thankful for the involvement of so many talented people. ‘‘I’ve learned that if you ask for some- thing, people are really open to helping, so it’s good to build up the courage to ask.’’ ❚ To view One Voice, go to: http:/ /onevoice.net.nz.
